First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a coordinated weight loss program where parents and children work together to eat healthier, be more active, and support each other. About 90 families will join, with parents attending their own program while kids take part in a pediatric weight management clinic. The goal is to see if this team approach helps both generations lose weight and keep it off.
